This invention discloses a mainstream rotating
detonation combustor based on cavity-based operation, belonging to the field of
detonation engine technology. It includes: an outer casing; a
flame tube, comprising an inner and outer
flame tube with multiple cooling holes; a cavity composed of a front wall, an upper wall, and a rear wall, including two air inlets: a front air inlet and a rear air inlet; a mainstream air intake passage, including a straight section and a contraction-expansion section; a shift air intake passage; a mainstream
fuel supply system, with multiple mainstream fuel nozzles evenly arranged circumferentially on the straight section of the mainstream air intake passage; and a shift
fuel supply system with multiple shift fuel nozzles circumferentially installed on the front wall of the cavity. When the cavity-based mainstream rotating
detonation combustor operates, it employs a functionally graded and spatially partitioned
combustion organization method. The cavity subsonic
combustion and mainstream detonation
combustion adjust their air intake and
fuel supply ratios to adapt to different operating conditions, thereby ensuring stable combustion in the
combustor under wide-range conditions.
